In his article, The First Organisms, A.G. Cairns-Smith states to the reader about the original idea of how organisms first appeared on Earth. The idea says that before organisms roamed the Earth, various chemicals were spontaneously formed first. These chemicals served as the building blocks of the first organisms that eventually evolved into the organisms here today. Many biochemists have been testing this theory by conducting various experiments. By simulating an atmosphere that supposedly resembled Earth’s some million years ago, these biochemists have been able to extrapolate certain chemicals that were necessary to construct Earth’s first organisms. A.G. Cairns-Smith, in his article, had a different idea of how Earth’s first organisms were formed. His idea takes a radical turn from the original idea that many biochemists has considered the accepted general idea of how Earth’s first organisms were formed. Though his idea is kind of radical, he does back up his hypothesis with very convincing evidence.
